Where our cars come from

We publish our sources because a directory you cannot audit is just an advert. Everything marked indexed is scraped from a public stock page, translated, and linked back to the original listing. Auction networks are dealer-only, so we buy through licensed agents rather than scraping them.

Exporters and dealers we index

Public stock pages. We scrape titles, prices, mileage, chassis codes and photos, translate the Japanese, and keep a link back to the original listing.

Trade bodies we verify against

Membership registers we check an exporter against before marking it verified in our directory.

  • JUMVEA

Sources we deliberately do not scrape

  • Auction house live feeds. Access requires a Japanese dealer licence and a deposit with the auction group. We work through licensed agents instead, and quote from their bidding sheets.
  • Private sale boards and closed enthusiast groups. Posting those cars publicly breaks the trust that keeps them available.
  • Anything behind a login. We only index pages a member of the public can open in Japan.
